Abstract

The chapter gives an overview of the current literature on e-learning goals and theoretical background of design of e-learning courses. Conditions of successful implementation of e-learning include technical, organizational, pedagogical, and psychological conditions. The chapter explains terms such as computer-assisted language learning and digital literacy. The author clarifies some issues related to efficient e-learning course delivery, including the learner and teacher perception. A practical example of an online Business English course in the Moodle system at the university level is analyzed.
